In this solo walkthrough, Austin Klar showcases the Tobin House, a 9,000‑square‑foot 1915 Pacific Heights mansion designed by renowned architect Willis Polk. He highlights the home’s distinctive architectural details—11.5‑foot ceilings, diamond‑pattern living‑room windows, a massive south‑facing yard, and a sprawling over‑1,000‑square‑foot primary bedroom—culminating in the signature half‑arch entryway that was meant to connect to a twin residence that was never built. Klar also provides the recent market history: the 5‑bedroom, 6.5‑bath house listed for $13.85 million in January, later reduced to $11.5 million before being withdrawn last summer. The video ends with a call‑to‑action to follow for more Bay Area real‑estate content.

Chapters

This 9,000-square-foot Pacific Heights mansion is my favorite house in San Francisco that didn't find a buyer last year. Known as the Tobin House, this 1915 build was designed by architect Willis Polk and has some incredible details. 11.5-foot ceilings throughout the house, diamond-pattern windows in the living room overlooking a giant south-facing yard, bigger than most yards you're gonna find on any single-family home in San Francisco, and an over 1,000-square-foot primary bedroom. But the best-known feature of the house is the half arch at the front entryway. The current residence was intended to be built alongside a twin house connected via an archway, but the right residence was never built. The 5-bed, 6.5-bath home came on the market last January for $13.85 million, and it was last listed for $11.5 million before coming off the market last summer. Follow me for more Bay Area real estate.
